The Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn in Naples is among the top research institutions in the world in the fields of marine biology and ecology. The new established bioinformatics laboratory is seeking for a candidate interested in the evolution of genome architecture http://bit.ly/okEGvL
We are looking for someone who understands basic biological and evolutionary problems and is able to independently accomplish bioinformatics tasks.
Candidates will be expected to have knowledge of biology, genetics and functional genomics, to demonstrate the ability to work in a UNIX/Linux environment and to be familiar with a scripting language (e.g. Perl), a database system (e.g. MySQL) and a statistical programming environment (e.g R). Previous experience with comparative genomics and genomics databases as well as an understanding of statistical methods used in the interpretation of biological data is a desirable asset. Wet lab work might be required during the PhD.
All the information about the PhD and the guidelines on how to apply are listed on the webpage http://bit.ly/d2WuXk
The closing date for applications is 20 September 2011.
